  1. I'm gonna go get a 20 piece of chicken McNuggets right now, organic tastes like a$$. I agree with EBL, there are healthy options at most restaurants, even fast food. It's not organic, but the act of opting for diet instead of sugared soda and eliminating the fries all together is a good start, and as EBL said sauces are terrible. Ketchup isn't terrible, but depending on the brand can have a fair amount of sugar, mustard is pretty healthy, mayo is terrible (some people are actually frightened of it, lol). The other enemy is cheese, of course that depends on the kind of cheese and american actually has less fat then a lot of other cheeses. Last but not least try to avoid fried food if you can, but even then always check the fat content, you'd be surprised at how some seemingly good foods are high fat and cholesterol. All that said, being a theme park enthusiast, it's hard not to eat funnel cake at Knott's and those huge cupcakes at Disneyland (actually damn near everything at Disneyland). Now they have all you can eat all day passes at some parks. Still, Disney sells fruit, Knott's sells corn and there's always an option to go outside the park. So anyways, I'm not gonna get all nutty and preach to people about organic and life style issues, but you can be "healthy" without giving everything up. Oh, and don't smoke, unless it's a really good cigar.
  2. Yay, Robb got my deposit. Now I just gotta get the rest of the money together. I think I can sell that much blood before next year.
  3. A "coporate gig" might also mean they are going to get him outta site and then give him the ax while nobodys looking.
  4. What if there really isn't an article and Big Mike is just covertly gathering information on kiddie coasters for a credit whoring run?
  5. ^They can't really say early retirement when he's not the only one they fired.
  6. Disneyland California Adventure Six Flags Magic Mountain Knott's Berry Farm Sea World Belmont Park Scandia Castle Park Adventure City Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk Universal Studios Hollywood Six Flags Discovery Kingdom California's Great America I think thats it, of course I did ton's of zoo's including the Wild Animal Park, plus museums and just about anywhere that has a miniature train, pony ride, or carousel. Couldn't track down that monster truck school bus this summer, but I did make it to Calico Ghost town.
  7. ^Or better yet they can tell me if, in my old age, I will still be able to get erect in the 2012 season. Caesar "I will be 40 next year" DeHaro
  8. ^Yeah the dark factor of Space Mountain freaked me out the first time I rode it. I think the other thing is that Big Thunder Mountain looks like a train. My daughter used to always call it the "choo choo" coaster.
  9. Knott's will always have one advantage over other parks in SoCal, it's close to Disneyland. If I'm not mistaken it has better attendance than SFMM too. Cedar Fair didn't pay all that money for Knott's for nothing. As far as the ride goes, amongst the peoples most common fear is the fear of heights. Spinning around 300 feet in the air on a stick sounds pretty thrilling to me.
  10. I understand that she's qualified, but I still don't understand getting rid of Jay.
  11. ^Why not make a trip report and post them here?
  12. "Sense" of weightlessness, and I when they say airtime they are talking about time in the air on the ride.
  13. ^In hell all the coasters have OTSR's.
  14. Nobody rode that thing, regardless of the height requirement. I can't remember the last time I rode it and there was anyone else on with us. Besides that, it's gotten stuck a few times and it's probably time for it to go anyway. Really its not like Knott's is a scenic park that needs an observation tower.
  15. How does this effect West Coast Bash, what if the new guys an ACE member.
  16. Seems like a loss for SFMM, and although I've only been there once I was impressed with SFDK. You would think that they would keep them in the company at least.
  17. Yeah, cargo pants/shorts do the trick, and I'm not even comfortable leaving my sunglasses in a cubby.
  18. Look up Mondial Rides- Wind Seeker, pretty much a star flyer with arms instead of chains.
  19. ^I think it's worse that I can stand there and watch them looking at texts while they are checking restraints.
  20. ^The point of giving a reward would be to encourage people to report, most people won't, and if the op's have a fear of people reporting them, then maybe they will leave their phone alone.
  21. Screamscape is jumping on board with the Stratosoar to replace the Sky Cabin.
  22. He did get a freefall experience, just not the one he intended.
  23. That's awesome, the whole wedding party in a coaster train and a kangaroo, can't go wrong with a kangaroo.
